I am about to put my 14 year old Labrador on CBD - He currently takes Metacam and tramadol for his arthritis - can he take the cannabis oil alongside the Metacam and tramadol? Thanks

As of yet, we have very little research on CBD oil in veterinary patients, so we cannot make any recommendations one way or the other about this product - we do not know what an appropriate dose might be, and if there are any potential health concerns or drug interactions in dogs. So I cannot say if it is safe to give Canyon the CBD oil along with his pain medications. Because of that, I do not recommend it.
